people using it on all kinds of projects, but have never heard the advantage. It costs the same as paint. Why not just paint it?

matte finishes are "in" these days. it's easy to achieve a matte finish with very little prep/finish time - so while the materials may be similar to the cost of paint, reasonable results can be had much easier with plastidip for the average backyard hack than if they were using primer/base/top coat of regular auto paint.

not happy with the results? peel it. no need to sand/chemically treat, etc.

want to change colors? peel and respray - again not as difficult as stripping real paint.

I will probably eventually do the OEM VW Rims when I get two of them straightened out for winter tires, and to change the look/color for part of the year.

My only fear would be once my rig is covered in it, some smart@$$ from GL4x4 would peel out a nasty word, or worse in it.

I don't care if it peels or not, ive powerwashed rims with that on it and it doesn't come off. Imagine how long it would take to peel a car? I would just park the vehicle in the garage next to a keg and have a peeling party, only way to do it.

the common trick for dipping wheels:
• get 4 backless barstools so the combined rim/tire is at a comfortable height, and off the floor where possible dust/debris
• buy decks of cards at the dollar store. insert them like step flashing all around the rim/bead
• if you're really inaccurate with lots of overspray, then tape newpaper either behind, or on top of the playing card step flashing.
• spray, and allow to dry
• yank out cards, and paper. dispose. put rims/tire combo back on rig

Or just put a liberal amount of tire shine on the tire and spray the wheel. The plastidip sticks to the wheel and comes right off the tire without having to mask it off.
